Challenge
With in-person competitions proving challenging to hold due to COVID in New Zealand, H&BNZ had the idea to host a series of monthly competitions on Instagram to engage their audience and spark creativity and excitement during a challenging time for the hairdressing and barbering industries.
H&BNZ had the idea, a competition to be hosted on Instagram with the use of hashtags, and H&BNZ required assistance to execute the idea.
This is where RMH Consulting came to the table, to create the strategy and plan for execution, develop the content, and then coordinate the competitions to ensure H&BNZ were successful in their campaign goals.
A multi-channel approach required to drive participation and engagement from existing captured audiences.
